As you can see above Skaven & Empire are the name of the day at the moment but there are plans to bring all of the warbands from the skirmish game back into the digital realm. Now this is a game that I am very, very much looking forward to.

You’ll be able to take on foes in single player and multi-player games and it will be interesting to see what gameplay we’ll be seeing. It looks like the game is going to be turn based, which is pretty awesome, and could be following in the footsteps of games like XCOM in that regard.

I love that, from the information we have, each unit is just as prone to die as in the tabletop game with defeated troops being gone forever!

It’s good that they’re getting more video games out there because all the Warhammer games are very well done and would translate well to digital games IF the devs both manage to streamline the experience (so we don’t get overburdened with stats and interrupt the flow of the game) AND keep the soul of the original. Space Hulk did this wrong last year apparently (according to reviews I read): They managed to obliterate the tension of the original by having extremely dumb AI that was easy to bottleneck and obliterate.
